Betsy's Infusion Notes:
🌿 Culinary-grade lavender:
This is essential, do not use decorative
or non-food-safe lavender. 💧 To make a cold version, let the tea cool,
then pour over ice for an iced herbal tea. 🌙 Best enjoyed in the evening or during
high-stress moments. 🛑 Caution:
Avoid in pregnancy without consulting a professional.
May cause drowsiness. 💊 May enhance the effect of sedatives or
SSRIs—consult your doctor if taking anxiety medication.
